Virtue posted:I was checked the backup on iCloud and under the list of backups it only has a couple games on it and not any of the ones that I was worried about keeping (Chrono Trigger and Ghost Trick mostly). When I connect the phone to my computer to sync I have to recheck the Sync boxes and it says something to the effect of "All existing apps and their data on the iPhone will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library" which sounds like I'm going to lose everything. Hmm I agree that message does sound ominous. How did you check your iCloud backup? Did you check it on the phone? It should list every app you have on there unless you explicitly disabled some. If you're really paranoid you can backup to your computer locally first. Then you have a hard copy on your hard drive you can extract saves from if it comes down to that.

So, maybe I'm just an idiot but I can't figure out an easy way to have iTunes watch a folder. I have all of my music and my iTunes folder stored on a secondary drive, how can I get iTunes to watch that folder so when I add something new it automatically goes to my iTunes library. The automatically add to iTunes folder does absolutely nothing as far as I can tell. I'm on 10.7.4 with iTunes version 10.6.3.

I googled "itunes album missing songs" and nothing relevant came up, so I ask here. Has anyone heard of an album on iTunes literally missing a track? Check this out: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/shut-em-down/id316971607 Check it out, track 18 is completely gone. Goes right from 17 to 19. I've never seen something like this on iTunes. The only thing I can think of is that the song features Wu Tang Clan on it, and perhaps they didn't give permission for their music to be distributed digitally? Unlikely though because this album is from 1998. I am so confused, and feel a bit ripped off because I loved the song. Anyone ever seen this before? Anyone know why this would happen?

Or just through iTunes. But this is likely your answer. Same reason why you won't find Prince. Looking at the same album on Amazon, that one track is only available if you buy the whole album. It's basically stupid label bullshit I guess, and I don't think Apple will carry songs that want those kind of restrictions (I think this is why there is no AC/DC in the iTunes store).

Nah, there are lots of albums on iTunes with album-only tracks. Alice's Restaurant comes to mind. You can only get the title track with the full album.

I can't even wrap my head around what would cause it, but my guess is it's because Wu-Tang is on the song and their label won't allow it or something. Very interesting, thank you!

So ... I signed up for iTunes Match, and for the most part, it's pretty great. I only really have two problems with it. Is there a way to, on an iPad/iPhone, only play the songs that are currently on the device? I haven't found a way, and I'd like to be able to easily play and sift through the music on the device instead of "scroll through 600 artists to find just the one that's on the device". The other issue is somewhat bigger. iTunes Match, apparently, matched all my music, then removed it from my desktop computer. This is somewhat annoying, but I understand that it's purportedly replacing it with higher quality copies. The problem is twofold - one, several of the songs that it has replaced into the library have poor quality (as in, skipping/popping in the track, etc), and two, it won't let me download quite a few of them (as in, it says they're not available for download). Is there anything I can do about this? Have I just lost music that I've paid for?

If I download an audiobook from the iTunes Store, will I be able to listen to it on my mac? It's not letting me download samples because I don't have an iOS device, so I'm not sure. Edit: Never mind. I've just noticed the requirements section in the audiobook page in the store. Apparently, some books require iOS.

All right what the poo poo. So I have iTunes Match on both my devices. Movies/Videos though I manually manage since I just rip/convert my own dvds/blu-rays and throw on the iPad or iPhone as needed. However, lately I've started getting some music videos off YouTube and Vimeo (awesome poo poo like this. I do my best to tag/sort them and here's where poo poo gets weird. For some god forsaken reason, iTunes treats music videos as music. However, since it's not music they're (obviously) not uploaded to iTunes Match and since they're not treated as a "video" you can't manually add them either! So unless I'm missing something, the only way to manually manage music videos is to treat them as movies and ignore the music video tag altogether. What the gently caress, iTunes. EDIT: gently caress it, I now have a new TV Show called Music Videos. Happy Noodle Boy fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Jul 3, 2012 |

I've come to the conclusion that I'm pretty much done with iTunes Match - of the three main benefits I wanted from it, 1) Having access to all my music everywhere, 2) Having all my music upgraded to higher quality, and 3) Having all my tags sorted out for me, it only does two of the three and only 1 is an ongoing benefit. And even that is dubious since the times I'm likely to want a lot of music (e.g. such as going on a long flight) I have to make preparations ahead of time since inevitably my phone will have helpfully erased all the mixsets I downloaded onto it last time, which it then won't let me download over 3G despite having unlimited data. It also annoys me I can't change my iTunes store region with a Match subscription

Is there any way to adjust Quicktime's gamma 'interpretation' and/or black levels in the windows build? As long as I could remember its always been off with blacks not really black. I found this: http://forums.luxology.com/discussion/topic.aspx?id=29089 but I don't have that checkbox in my windows build (7.7).

Sorry if this has been answered earlier/in the iPhone thread, guys; this is literally my first SA post ever and I'm mildly terrified of this place. "Fearful reverence," I think. A friend bought me this account as a gift for the express purpose of troubleshooting this issue, but I don't have a platinum account so I can't search the forums to see if this one's been answered. My iTunes could detect my iPod just fine but when I plugged in my iPhone 4S I got nothing. So I tried to update to the latest version (I was only one version behind) and it wouldn't work. So I uninstalled iTunes and then tried the latest version. Same error. Tried the previous version; error again. Tried the 32-bit version instead of the 64-bit version of each, figuring what the hell, why not; error again. (I'm running everyone's favorite red-headed stepchild OS, Windows Vista.) Tried running as administrator. Tried all of the prescribed Apple fixes on their help & support site for troubleshooting this issue and none worked--booting with only the bare essentials to avoid any unforeseen conflicts, repairing/uninstalling/reinstalling Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support. I took some screencaps of the error messages; if somebody wants to see them if they think it would reveal something, I can email/message/post them to you. Thanks dudes and dudettes.

So is there no way to sync an iPhone to a shared library? Is there any way to trick it into working or some sort of workaround for the situation? My brother's got a MBA with the majority of his media stored on an AEBS drive and it's working great for him so far except he can't sync his iPhone with the library since it isn't the physical iTunes library.

I think it might have something to do with Microsoft Visual C++ but I'm not positive. An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.6195",publicKeyToken="[hash removed]",processorArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070002. I can troubleshoot up to a point; I can research problems all day, and find solutions online to try and fix them, but man, even the solutions are running into problems on my machine sometimes, and I have to troubleshoot the troubleshooting process. I have no head for this kind of stuff.

How's your internet connection at home? Would something like Subsonic be a valid option for you? Might not have all the bells/whistles of Match, but might work for your purposes, if you point it at your iTunes music directory.

Just got a macbook pro after a lifetime of using windows and I'm psyched. I still have my windows XP gAmErZoNe pc and I keep that bitch on almost all the time. I'd REALLY love to be able to use itunes on my new MBP and have it access my PC's music library without having to ever have any of that music actually on my MBP. Is this possible?

I'm using iTunes 10.6.3 in OS X, and I want the album art box to only show the album art of the currently playing song, but when I scroll through my music list and select a song/scroll through with the arrow keys, it always changes from the now playing album art to the selected album art, despite my constantly clicking the little titlebar above the album art to get it to show the now playing art. Any idea how I can get this to stick permanently like in older versions?

poo poo, there is a dedicated iTunes thread. Re-posting from OSX Software... "So I've owned an iPad 2 for a while and have a bunch of apps on it that I've downloaded/purchased through the App store on the device. I now have a Macbook, so I plugged in there and went to sync purchases. It told me I had to authorize the computer, which I did (and it confirmed), then it says "This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPad. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?" I choose yes, it says I'm already authorized, and then notes it's no longer authorized. And this repeats over and over again. It's authorized, but it won't let me transfer my purchases. The only support article I found suggested I update iTunes, but that didn't help. Any suggestions?" I de-authorized multiple times to make sure, but no dice. Even deleted the "SC Info" folder.

I will be very happy if someone could tell me the answer to this. My previous computer with an older copy of iTunes had the behavior that would allow it to view the album art along side, but every time I use the arrows it brings me to list view without the album art each time, no matter how much I set it back.

So apparently through the new version of iTunes in ML I can't select an AirPort speaker in addition to my main speakers from iTunes anymore.  Help. ;( EDIT: I'm able to functionally circumvent the issue by using the Remote app on my phone (which still allows me to select both sources as speakers at the same time).
